There are several types of emotions that I feel in my life. Some of them are written below.

Thankful: I feel thankful whenever I see the things that I have achieved in my life in last couple of years. I am very thankful to my mother and father who supported me so much in my life. I am also thankful to my friends who made my life a beautiful journey.

Hopeful: This emotion plays an important part in my life. Whenever something bad happens in my life just this emotion helps me to survive from that situation. I have achieved everything in my life because of this emotion. It motivates me to achieve something big in my future life.

The three interesting facts that fascinates me in the “10 Must Watch Ted Talks on Positive Emotions” are written below:

Joy: I believe that the most interesting fact in Chris Burkard’s talk about joy is that, he mansions “Pain makes us suddenly aware of everything in the environment. ” I totally agree with this. Whenever we are in pain we became more aware of our surroundings and we can see the things more clearly. Sometimes, we find something adorable. He also told that pain is like meditation. It allows us to think deeply in a period of time. He stated “In life there are no shortcuts to joy, anything that is worth persuing is going to require us to suffer. ” It’s true because if we want to achieve the feeling of joy we have to do hard work. I most like the thing that he finds joy in every bad situation.

Pride: There are several interesting facts in Diana Nyad’s talk about pride. She told in the talk that life is about journey not destination. She said what you achieve is important but how you achieve which means what you did to achieve that destination is more important. She said that how proud she is with achieving her this achievement. She told three keys to every success:

She said, “never give up”. I believe that this is the most vital thing in achieving any success. We have to face several difficulties for achieving any success but if we work hard and try again and again then, we can succeed easily.

She also said that dreams have no age. We can fulfil our dreams at any age. 3. She stated “when you achieve your dreams it’s not so much important what you get, but who you have become in achieving is worth”.

Gratitude: I have found many interesting facts in David Steindl’s talk about gratitude. He said, “All of us want to be happy”. The most interesting fact I have noticed is that, he mentions that some people have everything in their lives but they are not happy and on the other side there are some people who have experienced several misfortunes in their lives are more deeply happy. He said, “happiness does not make us grateful, gratefulness makes us happy. ” He gives very good explanation of gratefulness. According to him, have something which is valuable and given free which is neither bought nor earned. He gives us the idea to be grateful by experiencing and becoming aware that every moment is a given moment.

So, we should value each and every second by thinking as this is the last moment we have in our lives. This will make us grateful.
